Gibby
Our robot is designed with lunar habitation in mind. We created Gibby, named after the Gibbous phase, to withstand the Moon’s rough terrain and complete various challenges and necessary tasks. Gibby has a base measuring 14 inches by 11.5 inches, a laser-cut chassis, and a 4-wheel drive system, enhancing traction and reliability on the uneven terrain of the Central Basin Crater. The open-ended “C” claw, consists of a stationary half and a movable half that rotates 120 degrees, mounted on a stringed sliding arm for vertical movement, allowing it to grasp and manipulate objects easily. Gibby is also capable of safely transporting astronauts between the various locations around the moon.
